Ok y’all I’m been sitting on this post for a while and something in me snapped.
(Don’t read if you like Betty)
It’s about Riverh*ll *cough* Riverdale. I actually enjoyed it a little bit in Season 1 but then it went to sh*t. I have reasons as to why listed below.
- The main ships
I’m talking about B*ghead and V*rchie. I’m so sick of these pairings because they are clearly favored by RAS (especially B*ghead) and get most of the screen time that other characters deserve. (Cheryl, Toni, Josie and the pussycats, the serpents, etc) not to mention that they all have “relationship development” (sure....) but then they cut out 95% of Choni’s relationship development scenes and Kevin scenes. And RAS wonders why people don’t trust or want to watch the 3rd Season
- The characters ages
The characters are supposedly 15/16. But they are sexually active constantly, and with no consequences from parents. What ever happened to Jughead being Asexual? And one said 15/16 year old had been sleeping with his teacher who is supposed to be 10/20 years older than him. Not to mention how many times the characters are shown wearing either no clothes or lingerie. I don’t need anymore shirtless Archie scenes thank you very much.
- Misuse of Cheryl Blossom
Yes Cheryl can be a b*tch but I honestly don’t blame her. Cheryl has grown up in an abusvie household with sh*tty parents and her only savior was her brother who was then killed by her father that later hung himself. She then attempts suicide. What bothers me about this is how no one stayed to care for her. Sure, Veronica took her home and gave her hot chocolate but then abandoned her to go sing a song at the jubilee. So Cheryl had to go back to her abusive mother and household and then she burned her house down.
I would completely understand if she would be off her rocker and need help in the 2nd season, but guess what, IT’S NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN! She is apparently completely fine and it’s like nothing even happened to her at all. No one mentions it either and just continue to use her for their own selfish needs.
Then Nick St F*cker happened. As if Cheryl hadn’t been through enough she can now add ‘almost raped’ to the list of tragedies she’s gone through. This one was addressed more than the suicide one but it was resolved in 2 episodes.
Not to mention she got put into the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, by her mother. What the h*ll! When will she be happy?
I’ve never been more grateful until Toni Topaz came onto the show and started loving Cheryl.
- Nothing is ever Betty’s fault
Veronica and Cheryl are always called out on what they do but Betty? Nope, because she’s RAS favorite and he doesn’t deny it. Betty has done some horrible things. Trying to drown a man, stripping in front of the Serpents, the whole Dark Betty sex thing, the blackmailing Cheryl into testifying for FP with the video of her brothers murder, helping a MURDERER, and yet what she does is labeled as “girl power”? I don’t think so.
- Mental health issues
They seriously need to address the whole Dark Betty thing. I’m sick of it and it’s not healthy to portray it to fans that do have darkness inside of them or a personality disorder by not getting the help they need.
Cheryl also needs to go to a f*cking therapist with all the stuff she’s been through. Or at least tell Toni everything and then someone care about it but Cheryl needs help and some love.
- The Serpents
I’m sick of Northsiders and I want to see what the Southside serpents are like on their day off. Do they play pool and bet on drinks? Do they have motorcycle races? Watch TV in their trailer with snacks when bored?
I want to just see more of the Serpents. And not just FP and Jughead. More like Toni, Sweet Pea, and Fangs especially. We still don’t know almost anything about Toni except that we’ve met her grandfather and she was in the whole season 2. I also want to know more about Sweet Pea and Fangs’s backstory’s.
